Pentecost was a unique event in history, marking the birth of the church. This sermon explores three key lessons we can learn from Pentecost.

Introduction

Pentecost was a significant event in history as it marked the birth of the church. Today, I want to share three important lessons we can learn from Pentecost.

Lesson 1: The Church Created by God

The church was created by God. From the beginning, God had the church in mind and promised that nothing would overcome it. Jesus came into the world, and after His death, burial, and resurrection, the church was formed. It began on the Day of Pentecost when a sound like a violent wind came from heaven, and the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit. It is crucial for us to understand that the church belongs to God, and we are privileged to be a part of it.

Lesson 2: Communicating God's Love

The mission of the church is to communicate the love of God to the world. Pentecost emphasizes the importance of communication. The gift of tongues given to the apostles enabled them to share God's message with people from different nations. Today, we have translated the Bible into numerous languages, allowing us to reach out to people all over the world. As Christians, we are commissioned to share God's message and communicate His love to a lost and dying world.

Lesson 3: Establishing a Unique Fellowship

The goal of the church is to establish a unique fellowship. The early Christians experienced a profound transformation after accepting Jesus as their Savior. They became part of a new society, free from slavery, superstition, selfishness, and greed. The church should always be a place where people can find acceptance, love, and compassion. It should be a different culture, offering support and meeting the eternal needs of individuals.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Pentecost teaches us valuable lessons about the church. It reminds us that the church was created by God and belongs to Him. Our mission is to communicate God's love to the world, and our goal is to establish a unique fellowship where people can find acceptance and love. Let us embrace these lessons and strive to be a loving family of God.
